If i can get some opinions on what would you do. I have a englander nc-30 that has some bad welds. When the rear heat shield was attached they got a little hot and came threw the rear of the fire box. The stove was bought threw lowes couple years ago, but is new and just finished installing the cramic on the pad. Englander gave me two options 1. Have someone fix it and they will reimburse me. 2. I get it too their distribution center and they will exchange it.
I feel i found a good onsite welder which, said he feels like he can fix it and it should be fine. But i worry about the 2 other welds i can't see and feel like it should not of passed inspection.
It will not be easy to load and unload the stove if i decide to exchange it. But I'm sure i can figure it out. I just want to be safe and not have to worry about weak spots and problems down the road.
Any help would be great. Thanks
